Remote firewall as a web service. REST API for iptables.
Project description
Remote firewall as a web service.
rfw is the RESTful server which applies iptables rules to block or allow IP addresses on request from a remote client. rfw maintains the list of blocked IP addresses which may be updated on the fly from many sources. rfw also solves the problem of concurrent modifications to iptables since the requests are serialized.
Typical use cases
You manage a group of machines which are deployed/controlled/monitored from a central server or admin panel. You need to react quickly/automatically to abuse/DDOS with the rules generated by the intelligence/analytics/geolocation-aware server. You push the IP blocklist updates to other machines in real time.
